Leaping out of the glass with its intensely fruity, keenly focused, layered aromas of black currants, hints of blackberries and crème caramel all tightly wrapped up in youthful vivacity that screams 'aging potential,' this deep and dramatic effort delivers an equally full measure of generous yet barely evolved flavor on the palate. Its full and supple yet somewhat fleshy palatefeel is may invite early drinking, but its underlying structure insures that it will improve for years to come.

A barrel selection of the top lots, Chappellet's 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill offers scents of mint, camphor, pencil shavings and cassis. While full-bodied and silky, it still comes across as reasonably tight, with more aging potential still in reserve. It's compelling evidence that site, weather and winemaking came together in harmony this vintage. (JC)

This is a monster Cabernet, in the best sense. Comprised of all five Bordeaux varieties, it’s bone dry, enormously complex and firmly masculine, with very big, hard tannins. Concentration on the flavors shows layers of blackberries, black currants, blueberries, mocha, violets, sweet charred oak and a firm grounding of minerals. An outstanding wine from the Pritchard Hill region east of the Silverado Trail, but one that needs cellar time to resolve the tannins. *Top 100 Cellar Selections 2010*

Sleek, rich and intense, this beautifully balanced red offers a complex mix of black currant and black cherry, red and black licorice. Firm, focused, expansive and layered, ending with classic Bordeaux-like cedar, tobacco and cigar box notes. (JL)

Notes

97 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown in Wine Advocate: "The medium to deep garnet colored 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 8% Malbec, 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Wow—it has an incredibly evocative nose of Black Forest cake, redcurrant jelly, cassis, dried roses, blackberry pie and lavender with fragrant wafts of tilled soil, licorice and incense. The medium to full-bodied palate is completely packed with rich, opulent fruit framed by firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing with epic length." (05/2018)
